Is the Harley-Davidson Sport Glide good for beginners?

The Harley-Davidson Sport Glide makes ~78 hp (107) / ~90 hp (114) (approx), so it is more bike than most riders want as a first motorcycle. It can be a great second bike once you have experience, and some markets sell a restricted version.

Is the Harley-Davidson Sport Glide good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 680mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.

Is the Harley-Davidson Sport Glide good for touring?

Yes, for range. The 18.9L tank gives a useful distance between fuel stops, which suits longer days. Real touring comfort also depends on the screen, seat and wind protection.
